I found this tutorial about making faux turquoise http://www.jaedworks.com/clayspot/techniques/turquoise.html and I'm going to try it but I have a doubt: between step 3 and 4, do you wait for the paint to dry? -- enui

Among other things I'm working on a torc (torque?) I used a clay gun to make the basic shape with fimo soft, two pieces of twisted rope connected by a small cilinder; I baked it in the oven and let it cool completely in the oven so it would stay flexible. After a while I added a layer of gold fimo...

Hi, all. I want to make some charms and would like to know which clay is the strongest for this purpose. I've used Fimo Sculpey and applied some pressure tests and it seems to break fairly easily. I'd appreciate any recommendations. -- Marisa (AU/NZ) http://www.galleryvittoria.com She said, as...

Hello. I'm new to the group. I once worked as a scupltor for a miniatures company in the 70's and 80's... lead soldiers and fantasy 25mm minis. Just getting started in Polymer Clay. I mostly sculpt figurines of people (working from photos). See examples on My Web site:

I am a newbie in PC and this may seem like a silly question, but I am trying my hand at making beads, BUT, I have trouble getting the holes centered! Does anyone have any suggestions? TIA Virginia

How is the search for inexpensive ways of transferring images onto clay (raw or otherwise) with INK JET printers *without* hassle or expensive transfer papers coming? I'd like to try to develop a way, but I don't have the patience to reinvent the wheel. KellyK

What are the reasons one would drill a bead after baking instead of piercing it while soft? How do you drill a squirming, rolling bead, (i.e. what drill, how do you keep it still, etc?) Many thanks from a real newbie!

I've been playing around with some epson Stylus-Pro printer paper (doing transfers), but I've noticed in Glass-Attic that the S041062 order-number switched 'formula' at some point. This paper I have is about 3 years old, so I'm assuming I have the 'old' kind. Is it still 'no go' with the...

I know I'd been away from polymer clay for awhile, but it seems my memory is failing... did Laurel Nevans originate Glass Attic? I thought someone else did, but Laurel's home page seems to suggest that she began it -- or maybe I'm just reading it incorrectly. Or I *could* chalk it up to still...

I finally hauled out the clay again last week after a while of not playing due to moving (just downstairs in the same building). My works from last week (all beads) can be viewed he http://www.mlux2.com/phpbb2/EbayStuff Go ahead and take a gander if you like. These will be sold on E-bay...

A couple of months ago, I saw a plastic ammo case used for storing clay canes. I thought that would also be a good way to store tubes of seed beads, to keep them upright and easily accessible, etc. Unfortunately, I can't remember the website I saw it on. I've gone looking for "plastic ammo...

Hi I asked a retailer who sells air brushes if a certain model works with acrylic. There reply was it will work ok if you thin the paint with screen car wash. Has anybody heard of or done this. Thanks

Look soon to see...

For a while it has been difficult to find any good place on the web with a discussion area for polymer clay. This forum started just a few months ago, is rising in popularity as a great place to discuss these topics: http://www.statuaryplace.com/dicussion_frame.html

Barbara - the clay arrived yesterday, and the kids dug right in. One made a lightswitch cover, another made an adorable teddybear, and one of the seniors added to the 'red hat lady' she is making. Thanks so much for the sampler -- you should be getting a formal thank you letter from Hope...
